The True Story Behind The “Blind Side”

The Film Did Manage To Bring Some Real-Life People Into The Mix

“The Blind Side” may not have gotten every fact right but the movie’s producers did manage to bring some real-life college coaches into the mix. The guys visiting Michael Oher in the hopes of landing him on their teams? Those were the real men who tried to woo the star football player to their programs. The real-life coaches include former Notre Dame and South Carolina coach Lou Holtz, former LSU coach Nick Saban, former Arkansas and Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt, former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville, former Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer, and former-Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron. They were also good sports considering they all missed out to Orgeron and Ole Miss.
